Having known and worked with Brian for over 4 years, I can attest that he is a problem solver and able to think outside the box to solve complex problems. He has a solid background in innovation, lean and agile methodologies, and experience using Human-centred Design techniques to achieve organisations' goals at a high competency level. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any consultancy role that enables him to manage projects in a fast-changing environment.

Brian is a passionate, methodical, innovative HCD expert who is not afraid to challenge norms. He uses his psychology and behaviour change background to empathise with users and establish root causes of health challenges, often identifying factors that may be missed by the untrained eye. He is a reliable resource within and outside of our core team.
